5.4.7 The Resource Constraints/Facts Tab

The Constraints/Facts tab opens a page that shows all of the effective constraints and facts for a Grid
object. Each Grid object has an associated set of facts and constraints that define its properties. In
essence, by changing the policy constraints and fact values for a job, you can change the behavior of
the job and how the PlateSpin Orchestrate Server allocates available system resources to it. The
Orchestrate Server assigns default values to each of the component facts, although they can be
changed at any time by the administrator, unless they are read-only. Facts with mode
only values, which can be viewed (that is, using the edit "pencil" icon) but changes cannot be made.

5.5 The VM Host Object

A VM host represents a VM host technology or "hypervisor" (for example, Xen*, Hyper-V, and so
on) either installed on a physical resource or accessed by it (in the case of VMware). VM host
objects can be used when making provisioning decisions for a resource.
